[Numpy-discussion] Example of numpy cov() not correct?

[Anthony Kong]

Hi, all,
 
I am trying out the example here
(http://www.scipy.org/Numpy_Example_List_With_Doc#cov)
 
 
>>> from numpy import *
...
>>> T = array([1.3, 4.5, 2.8, 3.9])   
>>> P = array([2.7, 8.7, 4.7, 8.2])  
>>> cov(T,P)                                
 
The answer is supposed to be 3.9541666666666657

The result I got is instead a cov matrix
array([[ 1.97583333,  3.95416667],
       [ 3.95416667,  8.22916667]])
So, I just wanna confirm this particular example may be no longer
correct.

I am using python 2.4.3 with numpy 1.1.0 on MS win
 
Cheers, Anthony
